I have always known the governor to be a stickler for law and the
constitution. And nothing has happened to make me change that opinion. I know
that he is somebody who respects the law and the constitution. It will be
quite strange in my view if he has anything to do with it. I have no evidence
to that effect and I don’t believe he will be behind any unconstitutional move.
It was alleged that your problem with the governor started when it was rumoured
that you are behind the governorship aspiration of Mr. Goddy Agba.
There is no such thing. Becoming governor requires a process. So how do you
bring out somebody without following the rules? And I have said it again and
again that I have no hand in it. The President has confirmed that
no such thing happened. I have never taken anybody to the President. What is
your take on the new zoning formula of your party? The caucuses have no powers
to zone. The constitution clearly spelt out their powers. It is just an
advisory body in the PDP constitution. In the Electoral Act, a candidate can
only emerge through primaries. The way positions have been shared in my
senatorial district is between old Ikom and old Obubra. That has not
changed and any day the Senate seat leaves old Ikom, it is supposed to go to old
Obubra. Why is it that despite the prominent positions you and
others occupy in the National Assembly, the Federal road from Calabar to
Obubra has remained in a bad shape? I think the proper place to get an answer
to that is the Federal Ministry of Works because I have done what we are
supposed to do.
